An IDE RAID 0 question

[Brad]

On Tom's site a few days ago, he posted and interesting article on win2000's built in support for controlling a RAID 0.

In the test, he used a Promise Ultra100 TX2 card that gave him 2 extra ATA100 IDE ports.

If I plugged this card into my ATA66 (Asus P3V4) motherboard, would I get 2 ATA100 ports that function at ATA100, or would they be slowed down to ATA66?

Yeah it would run at ATA/100.

the promise card is an ATA/100 controller. the ports on your motherboard are controlled by the onboard ata/66 controller. if you want to run all your drives at 100, disable the onboard controller to free up the irqs and run 4 drives off the promise controller. you may lose some efficiency though, the promise cards use more cpu time than your onboard controller.
